Mortality.
Jan. 31st, 2009 10:22 amI think when there's some expectation it's almost easier. Old age, illness, disease... these things lead one to at least anticipate that death is a possibility, though not a pleasant one (unless it's an escape from constant pain).
This morning, my step-cousin's roommates went in to kick him out of bed and found he'd died in his sleep overnight.
He'd had a cold, but was in the process of getting better. The current theory is that he'd caught a virus and died of an unnoticed secondary infection. I guess we'll probably know more after the autopsy.
He was 20... and in University back east. His parents are flying out there today.
He was a really neat kid... intelligent, motivated, and going places.
Rhys is not allowed to catch a cold for the next few months. Minimum.
